Join Be The Match at the 2017 New York Be The Match Walk+Run on Saturday, September 30, 2017 at Firefighter’s Field, Roosevelt Island to take the first steps toward saving a life.

More than 70 percent of blood cancer patients don’t have a matching donor in their families, so they depend on Be The Match to help find the life-saving marrow transplant they need. More than 600 New Yorkers are joining the 2017 New York Be The Match Walk+Run to raise funds to add more donors to the registry, help patients with transplant costs, and fund life-saving transplant research – providing cures to patients around the world.

In participating in the Walk+Run, attendees walk alongside real patients and their families, and learn about how Be The Match has changed lives in New York and across the country.
